There had been some buzz with him making the road trip with the team although coach Maurice indicated in his post-skate comments today that there is still no timeline yet on the return of the big defenceman who has missed the last 23 games. (Hear those comments below).
Audio PlayerCoach Maurice: On Tyler Myers getting out on the ice. Any timeline as to his return? On what the team has been missing without Myers. (Audio courtesy of TSN 1290 Winnipeg).
Coach Quotes:
“Get through a real light day tomorrow and we’ll just start adding minutes….but he’s going to have to get pushed on the ice real hard for a little bit before he gets back in the lineup”
